In order to observe the effectiveness of this approach I was standing at 8.30 in the morning in front of 16 rather nervous and strained law applicants, listening as the law tutors introduced the interview team, and explained the structure of the day. Candidates would have two interviewers, and the focus of the discussion would be on some case extracts that the candidates would receive 75 minutes in advance of the interview. Candidates had a number of questions to answer, which were printed on the cover sheet of the extracts; knowledge of the law was not required, but the students would have to be able to interpret complex information and explain and summarise material.
The interviewers were very good at delivering what was an important message in a very encouraging manner. They were very straight-talking, emphasising that the interviews were only one part of the process in identifying the successful candidates, and stressing the importance to the interviewees of engaging in discussion - it was OK for a candidate to revise their views as a result of the interaction with the interviewers, as long as they could explain how they reached their conclusion clearly. The mood of suppressed panic in the room began to lift, and after 20 minutes the students were even beginning to smile. Then, disaster struck, as some one's mobile phone went off.
The ring tone of the phone was quite understated, and it wasn't immediately obvious what was causing the noise - gradually the tone grew louder; the interviewers to their credit ignored it, and kept on speaking, but it was clear that there was at least one person in the room who (internally at least) was going through a thousand years of agony in the space of a moment. Eventually the caller must have triggered the answer-phone, because the tune stopped, although we were then treated to a couple of loud beeps as the phone let its owner know that they had received an important message.
The briefing continued, the interviewers making a point about their intention to push the candidates hard, and in the supplementary questions towards the end of the interview they would ask about issues that had no clear right or wrong answer, but would require the applicant to take an ethical or moral stance.
Things were winding down, and the candidates were beginning to ask questions, when the mystery caller struck again - once more, the guilty party maintained a superb poker face, and let the call play out, although their self-control must have been at breaking point.
The Law Faculty typically only invites about 50% of their applicants to interview, following the initial scrutiny of applications, references and LNAT test results - for me the experience emphasised that the level of competition to do well and be successful for the candidates is so intense that a student will sit through the entire rendition of their most recently down-loaded ring-tone rather than indicate any possible fallibility on their part. It was a sobering thought. The silver lining however is that I guarantee that all 16 of the candidates in the room made sure that they were not going to fall victim to the same situation when it came to the real interview.

The media in the Dominican Republic
It ranges from difficult to impossible to get magazines or newspapers from home, but virtually all hotels will have some form of US news on the TV and many of the high-end hotels get BBC as well. There are virtually no English-language newspapers and magazines available in the country, but there is a vibrant Spanish-language local media that can keep you up to date on the world's events.
Century-old Listin Diario is the most reputable of the Dominican daily newspapers, a broadsheet that has weathered a dozen different repressions of the free press over its history and still produces the best investigative journalism in the country, along with excellent sports coverage and a decent international roundup. El Siglo is a more recent arrival and a bit more plebeian in its outlook, mixing equal-opportunity haranguing of the three major political parties with good coverage of local music events and a heavy accent on violent crime. Hoy is less enlightening than the other two, with rather perfunctory political coverage and a major focus on sports. You should be able to find the Miami Herald at the airports and The New York Times in high-end hotel gift shops; the odd copy of Time and Newsweek is available in bookstores.
On Dominican radio, you'll find only one American and European pop station in most areas, surrounded by a dozen Latin stations and at least one with 24-hour Pentecostal programming. Flip around a bit and you're likely to come up with a station playing old-style merengue périco ripao. In the most rural mountain areas, however, you'll be lucky to tune in to even one station. If you're in the south of the country, flip to Radio Millon at 107.9, which features the golden age of Latin music, a real treat and a nice break from the omnipresent thud of merengue everywhere else.
Dominicans have access to cable television, which sends out over eighty channels, half in Spanish and half English-language American fare with subtitles, including CNN, various sports channels, the American networks and a number of others that will be familiar to North Americans. Without cable you'll be stuck with, at most, six local stations; one or two will feature the dregs of American cinema past – some with subtitles, some dubbed – while the rest focus on merengue videos, Venezuelan and Mexican soap operas, local talk shows and baseball games.

Maintained by Joan Korenman at the University of Maryland, this is "the grandmother of all Women's Studies websites," meaning the largest, oldest collection of gender-related information on the continent, if not on the Web altogether. We've linked here first to the scholarly resources page, but we also recommend her list of Programs in Feminist and/or Women's Studies, the National Center for Women & Information Technology, Financial Aid & Job Resources, and various other subsites.
- University of Wisconsin—The Women's Studies Librarian:
An excellent site with a nationally comprehensive bibliography on gender issues. If it's printed, or it's online, you'll find it indexed here. Highly recommended for undergraduate researchers.
- Sisterhood is Global Institute:
This is an international NGO with Consultative Status to the United Nations, founded in 1984. The site offers a global compendium of international organizations focusing on gender issues, sources for service-oriented organizations, and many other valuable resources.

Adele's Estranged Father Wants to Be Part of His Grandchild's Life
There's little that will make a lousy father rue his life choices more than having a child who winds up rich and famous — and wants nothing to do with him.
But now that Adele has announced she's expecting a little one of her own, the man who walked out on her when she was still a toddler now says he wants to be a doting grandpa.
About a decade ago, Mark Evans apologized to the now 24-year-old 'Turning Tables' singer for being an absentee dad, and they tried to put their relationship back together. But after she shot to worldwide fame and Evans did some paid press interviews about her, a furious Adele cut off all ties with him, saying he had "f—ing blown" any chance of a reconciliation.
Now he's talking again, telling the Mirror that upon learning of her pregnancy, "I would have loved so much to have been able to hold her in my arms and tell her how happy I was for her … I am begging her to give me another chance … It breaks my heart to think I might not see her in the years ahead or hold my little grandchild in my arms."
Call us pessimistic, but we don't think the dude should hold his breath. Just a few months ago, Adele said, "He will never hear from me again. There's consequences [for talking about me for money] … If I ever see him, I will spit in his face."

Why is the shop for hero upgrades (e.g. additional attack power) outside of the gameplay?
What I mean is, in traditional MOBAs, the point is to kill minions / enemy heroes to gather money, then return to the shop to buy new items before returning to the lane.
By putting the shop outside of the gameplay, in a special upgrade screen, it will make the game unbalanced because e.g. a level 6 player will have a much stronger champion to begin with!
The shop has to be inside the game with access during a round, so that all players start the round equally strong and get stronger throughout the round!
Awesomenauts did the same mistake in the beginning, letting players choose their loadout before the round started. By now, they have also moved the shop completely in-game.
This has to be done!

Left Jax, FL on Aug 21st for Shady Cove, OR. to pick up a 1991 Bushtec trailer in Super condition. Took the northern route out (I-80 across NB & WY is a haul in it self) with a few detours, and averaged close to 600 miles per day. Left Or via Rt140 and cut down thru NV to Rt 50 and then over to CO and the continental divide. Went S from CO to Toas, NM and the Las Vegas, NM. Left NM for Copperas Cove, TX to visit some friends and then back to Jax. Great trip ONLY 30 Minutes of Rain in 14 days and 6460 miles. The trailer tows like a dream and should see plenty of use in the coming years. I was lucky to have a friend in Daytona that gave me 3 NOS tires for the trailer, the Bushtec factory in TN did not have any 16x3.0 tires in stock. I hope to attend the Sunbeemers Rally in Venice, FL later this year and travel up to Indianapolis, IN with a friend before the cold sets in.

I saw this idea on Pintrest and thought I would make my own! I found this country checker board at a garage sale for 50 cents. It sure beat waiting for hubby to cut wood for me!!
I sanded it, primed it & spray painted it yellow. I cut the vinyl on the cricut and added some scrapbook paper to the clothespins. I used epoxy to adhere the clothespins to the board. Added a little fabric to the bottom & drilled in a decorative knob. I love it! Now maybe I can keep all the socks together!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 10, 2009) - The ETSU volleyball team is set to host Stetson on Friday at 7 p.m. in Brooks Gym as the Bucs look to win their sixth straight contest against the Hatters.
The Bucs (2-5, 1-0 A-Sun) are 7-0 all-time against Stetson, and come into the match having defeated USC Upstate 3-1 on Tuesday in the conference opener. ETSU got a 19 kill performance from Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.) in the win over the Spartans. Ryan leads the team with 66 kills on the season.
The Hatters (0-7, 0-1 A-Sun) have gotten off to a rough start in 2009. Stetson has been swept in its last four matches, and ranks last in the league in kills, assists, digs, hitting percentage and opponents' hitting percentage. The Hatters are led by freshman setter Kelli Carneal, who ranks fifth in the A-Sun in hitting percentage (.310) and service aces (10). Her .310 hitting percentage leads all A-Sun freshmen.
Fans who wear ETSU gear to the match will receive admission for a Buc ($1). The match can be seen live on ASun.TV by clicking on the link above. For more information on Buccaneer volleyball and all other athletic news, please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

What Are Title 1 Schools? Meeting the Needs of Low-Income Students
What Is A Title 1 School?
[caption id="attachment_130260" align="aligncenter" width="640"] What is a Title 1 school?[/caption]
Most educators, parents and community members have heard the term Title 1 Schools thrown loosely around, but what is it? Title 1 is the nation's oldest and largest federally funded program, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Annually, it provides over $14 billion to school systems across the country for students at risk of failure and living at or near poverty. In fact, over the course of the 2009-2010 school year, federal funding through this program was used by over 56,000 public schools nationwide in order for struggling students to meet state standards in a variety of subject areas. Originally, the idea of Title 1 was enacted in 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This policy committed to closing the achievement gap between low-income students and other students. The policy was rewritten in 1994 to improve fundamental goals of helping at-risk students. With the implementation of No Child Left Behind, schools must make adequate yearly progress on state testing and focus on best teaching practices in order to continue receiving funds.
What is the Purpose of Title 1 Funding?
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the purpose of Title 1 funding, "is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments." The basic principles of Title 1 state that schools with large concentrations of low-income students will receive supplemental funds to assist in meeting students' educational goals. Low-income students are determined by the number of students enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program. For an entire school to qualify for Title 1 funds, at least 40% of students must enroll in the free and reduced lunch program.
How are Title 1 Funds Used?
How to use Title 1 funds rests with each school. Title 1 funds can be used to improve curriculum, instructional activities, counseling, parental involvement, increase staff and program improvement. The funding should assist schools in meeting the educational goals of low-income students. According to the U.S. Department of Education, Title 1 funds typically support supplemental instruction in reading and math. Annually, this program reaches over six million students, primarily in the elementary grades. Types of students that might be served by Title 1 funds include migrant students, students with limited English proficiency, homeless students, students with disabilities, neglected students, delinquent students, at-risk students or any student in need. Students can be classified as at-risk for numerous reasons. A few reasons they might be classified as at-risk students include: low academic performance, being held back a grade for one or more years, or being homeless. There are other criteria that may place students in an at-risk category as well.
Guidance to Greatness
Due to the government's federal initiatives to offer assistance to students in need such as Title 1 funding, our schools will become that much more equipped to help the same students achieve greatness in the future.

This post is part of the series: Understanding and Working with Title 1 Students
Title 1 funds assist schools in meeting the educational needs of students living near or at poverty levels. This series examines student motivation, creative lesson plans, difficulties teachers face with at-risk students and proper implementation and documentation.

I don't know how many people here know that I'm an avid collector of Non-Combat pets, you can sneak a peek at my collection by clicking on the sprite darter over there on the left if you are curious 😉 Anyhow, I am currently at a total of 139 of them to be exact! So while everyone else was out riding the boat in Thousand Needles last night, I was scooping up all of the new non-combat pets that became available with the Shattering! As such, I thought that I would share with you what I found to be available, and any insight on how to go about collecting them for yourself!
Being a druid, needing to find this grouchy old treant was of utmost importance to me! I figured with a little love he could easily be nursed back to health! He's a bit tricksy to locate, and the methods of acquiring him is different based on your faction. However Vidyala has done up an absolutely lovely Guide to Mr. Withers to help all those that want to find Mr. Withers and shower him with love! I'd rate the difficulty of obtaining this pet as: Easy.
This is a pet that nobody was actually expecting, so it was a complete surprise that it was in the game! It is obtainable by both factions from a quest chain that starts out in the Burning Steppes at Flamestar Post (you can just head out there and snag them, there are no pre-requisites). You will need to do all the quests from the two quest givers there to start the chain. Just keep doing all of the chains, and the subsequent ones in Chiselgrip, until you get sent on a quest to see Kibbler (yes – the same goblin that gave you your smolderweb hatchling all those years ago!). He will then offer you a quest to collect flameflies, in which the reward will be your very own Tiny Flamefly! The quests are fairly fun (and include part of the old Warlock mount quest!), and you can probably complete them all in about an hour. I'd rate the difficulty of obtaining this pet as: Easy.
This little gem is also from a fun little quest chain that can be found at Brazie's Farm just south of the Dalaran Crater in Hillsbrad foothills. Essentially, you have to beat 5 waves of a mini-game that is much like the popular Plants vs Zombies. In fact, as I understand it, PoPCap Games even helped develop the one we see in WoW! Once you've successfully completed all of the quests, you are awarded this cute little pet! If you are familiar with, and already have experience with, PvZ, this quest shouldn't pose much difficulty for you (I failed once, early in round 4, because I failed to make enough sunflowers). However, if you aren't familiar with the game, the later levels may pose a challenge! It is a fun little game and will likely take you 30-60 minutes to complete. I'd rate the difficulty of obtaining this pet as: Medium.
Cute little bugger, isn't he? Mr. Grubbs is the only pet so far that is a completely random drop. Much like the Disgusting Oozling, Mr. Grubbs is a rare drop from a rare drop, and must be farmed. But it's not quite that simple! Because to see the bags in which you find Mr. Grubbs, you need to have Fiona's Lucky Charm. Quintessence did a wonderful write up that walks you through the steps to getting Fiona's Lucky Charm, as well as provides some tips on farming Mr. Grubbs.
I was able to farm this little guy in roughly an hour last night, and somewhere around 25-30 of the hidden stash bags. I farmed only the Carrion Grubs in EPL – and found that just south of Light's Hope Chapel there is such a supply of them that I never ran out (I'd wager there are over 100 grubs there!). However, it seems that the hidden stash bags can drop from any of the mobs out in EPL – but seem more common on the Grubs. Based on the RNG of this pet, I would rate the difficulty of obtaining this pet as: Medium to High.
Good Luck to everyone out there trying to "catch 'em all"! I hope that you found this information helpful! Additionally, if there are additional pets that you've found and I've missed here, please don't hesitate to let me know!
